OB talk


Anyone remember this episode?

Think it was from 1972.

Mr. McFeely made a delivery for Mr. Rogers and aked to make a phone call to Mrs. McFeely and said something at the end if a odd form of language. After hanging up He says something like this to Mr. Rogers, " I bet you're wondering what I was speaking?" Mc Feely says it's a language called OB talk.

I can't remember all that was said but the way this way of speaking was simmiler to the Ubbi Dubbi that was spoken on ZOOM. Speaking of ZOOM if you go to youtube you will find the debut epsiodes broken down into 4 parts and a few of clips from the original 70's series.


Now the roiginal ZOOM debuted in Jan. of 1972 and though I belong toa yahoo group on Rogers and it has files on every episode in which says 1971 for this epsiode I mention, I remember the copyright date also said 1972.

I don't wanna suggest Rogers might of stolen OB talk piece from ZOOM and and couldn't if the episode was a 1971 show but I wonder.

I'm not old enough to remember that, but maybe Mr.McFeely did say "Ubbi" and not "OB." Popular stuff is always mentioned on that show, so kids see what other kids are playing with and doing. Maybe they were just trying to show the kids watching something popular and fun that they might recognize.

"That's enough to make me LOL...out loud."

No McFeely did say OB.
